FAQS

Traditional LASIK surgery is actually a 2-step process. First, a flap must be created in the cornea with a small metal blade. By creating a flap in the cornea, the laser vision correction treatment can continue on the inner layer of the cornea.

Traditionally, the creation of the corneal flap with a hand-held mechanical device called a microkeratome was the norm. This method has worked well over the years; however, the performance of these devices can be unpredictable. And, although LASIK complications are extremely rare, this mechanical device is frequently the source for many of the reported complications.

With iLASIK, Dr. Ghosheh uses a very precise laser to create the corneal flap. The accuracy of the laser (+/- 10 microns) is unparalleled by any other technology in vision correction surgery. This advanced technology allows for Dr. Ghosheh to customize the corneal flap for every individual patient. Because of its consistent accuracy, iLASIK now makes it possible to treat many patients who were dismissed as candidates for laser vision correction due to thin corneas.

iLASIK is considered by many to provide a safer approach to vision correction surgery. This is a result of the superior precision of a computer-controlled laser as compared to that of a hand-held mechanical device. iLASIK accomplishes the flap procedure with a laser instead of a blade, and thus reduces the risk of complications.

The precision of iLASIK has been documented in studies conducted for the FDA clearance of the laser, where the accuracy of flap thickness was demonstrated at +/- 10 microns. Precise flap thickness is critical to a successful LASIK outcome. iLASIK provides a consistent flap thickness unmatched in flap creation technology to date.

The IntraLase FS Laser has been cleared by the FDA and became commercially available on a limited basis in 2001. The IntraLase FS Laser is the only laser that provides iLASIK. To date, over 22,000 procedures have been completed with no significant complications reported

Only iLASIK offers the safety of micron level precision of a truly all laser surgical approach. Other providers may advertise all-laser, but you should ensure that iLASIK is indeed being used to create your flap.
Typically, you should plan to spend 2-3 hours at the Advanced Eye Medical center on the day of your iLASIK procedure. You will need someone to drive you to and from your surgery. After your surgery you will go home to rest and sleep the rest of the day in order to give your eyes a chance to heal. The day after your surgery, you will come in for your postoperative appointment. You will experience much improved vision and your vision will continue to improve over the next few days.
You may return to work the day after your surgery.
